An affordance based model for gameplay
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents a formal model for gameplay based upon the affordances available to the player that are linked to game objects. It has been constructed via an extensive analysis of major first-person games 1998-2008, although it is argued it may extend to all diegetic games. Gameplay can be understood as a network of allowed actions, that can be summarised as a small number of archetypal affordances mediated by a set of parameters that define their functional relationships. As well as the capacity for the model to elucidate the ludic structures of games, it is argued that an affordance based model also provides a means to understand the relationship and role of story and content within a ludological context.

A prototype using territories and an affordance tree for social simulation gameplay
Smart objects are a representation strategy for games and virtual worlds, in which information about object interactions is distributed into the objects themselves: an object knows how it can be used, what kinds of effects it has, etc. In this work, we describe a prototype that aims to explore social simulation using smart objects. We extend the concept of smart objects to include a model of hu...
متن کاملIranian EFL Learners’ Perception of the Efficacy and Affordance of Activity Theory-based Computer Assisted Language Learning in Writing Achievement
Second language writing instruction has been greatly influenced by the growing importance of technology and the recent shift of paradigm from a cognitive to a social orientation in second language acquisition (Lantolf & Thorne, 2006). Therefore, the applications of computer assisted language learning and activity theory have been suggested as a promising framework for writing studies. The prese...

From the technical point of view, it is possible for a developer to embed and visualize as much information as possible in an open-ended virtual geographic environment, meanwhile, allow the user to interactively query and manipulate the information. However, the design and interpretation hitherto is a more or less blind experiment. In order to raise the awareness of this problem, the author rev...
متن کاملA Functional Model for Affordance-Based Agents
Today’s mobile artificial agents, such as mobile robots, are based on an object-oriented paradigm. They partition their environment into various objects and act in relation to individual properties of these objects. Such perception and acting is insufficient for goal-directed behavior in dynamic environments, which requires action-relevant information in the form of affordances. Affordances des...
